| I will always champion the Hinamatsuri anime adaptation. It unfortunately had to skip things and omit some stuff, but the comedy is what you watch it for, and it delivered. The show didn't need to have animation that good yet it did, and they enhanced the hell out of the character's movements during punchlines. The comedic timing was just spectacular, and the voice cast's performance was great. I was hesitant at first when I saw the trailer as I thought it should have been more monotone and gray to match the manga's aesthetic, but damn the colors made it really pop without contrasting with how absurd it could be. |

| Probably Saiki Kusuo no Psi nan. I actually haven't read many chapters of the manga, but from what I read, I just thought the comedy worked much better in the anime. |
| - Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai because of the improved art. - Gintama because of the voice acting, action scenes and overall direction. - Nichijou, K-ON! and Maid-Dragon because of Kyoto Animation. - Almost every LN, VN, Novel adapted by Kyoto Animation because of Kyoto Animation. They literally make their characters come to life because their adaptations are purely character driven and the slice of life nature of these stories has become their forte for many years now. |

| Gundam Thunderbolt-Considering how much the series revolves around jazz,country,blues, and a few other music genres it really should be watched and not read to really appreciate the music component. Chrono Crusade-The spoilers I've come across about the manga make me prefer the anime. It just feels more fitting to the theme, plus that finale is hard to outdo. Natsume Yujinchou-The manga art isn't good sad to say. The anime improves it drastically and the youkai are quite beautiful in thier own right |
| @Chibi-Alice I think that's unfortunately gonna be the case with anything music based, you just can't really connect without sound. SeidouTZ said: The amount of manga/LN i have read is considerably less than the anime i have watched, that said i considered the movie of Koe no Katachi to be better in some aspects than the source material. Mainly because in the manga there is a ongoing subplot that drags on for longer than necessery and a bland conclusion, in contrast the movie was more linear and had a more powerfull conclusion that wraps up everything nicely the main character arc. Oh and "Working!!", i remember dropping the manga because it didnt sold me on the humor and the rommance felt dragging in many points... the anime was much better in both fronts and more easy to digest. Could not disagree more on Koe No Katachi. The film is great, it's my favourite work of art, ever. Saved my life, literally this year after a bad breakup. Still, the manga fleshes some characters and motivations out a lot more and gives a better resolution than the open ended one in the anime Ultraman213 said: Kaguya sama, I can’t imagine enjoying the manga they didn’t adapt as much if I couldn’t picture their voices and over the top animated reactions, made me not go further in the story because I want to see what the studio adds to make it even more enjoyable dude, trust me when I say the manga is just as good if not better, check it out! It's one of the most popular in Japan for a reason. |

| Its Toaru Kagaku no Accelerator for me, the manga art is kinda bad but the anime fixed it. |
 |
| @OneWayChaos The manga is not the source material for toaru so that's probably why you didn't like it, lol. |

| Obligatory K-On. Reasons should be self-explanatory. I might get a bit flack for this but 3-gatsu too. I mean the manga is a really solid character drama with great care put into such a large cast but Shaft's masterful direction and the creative visuals that enhance the emotions is what makes an already great work a masterpiece. |

| @Xelecus ngl, the KNY manga is mid af. Like I've been reading since the beginning, but Ufotable really turned it into a living breathing project. what's the best one of these? Pick my anime for the week lol |

| "I like young-girl sexual creations, Lolicon is just one hobby of my many hobbies," he says. I ask what his wife, standing nearby, thinks of his "hobby". "She probably thinks no problem," he replies. "Because she loves young boys sexually interacting with each other." |
| Sekirei. A lot of work went into bringing Musubi's Musubis to life. |
| I've only read a little but anime adaptation is better in Nichijou, Midori Days, Nazo no Kanojo X, Watamote and Kimetsu no Yaiba. |
 |
| I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone mention Utena. The manga went on a pretty cliche shoujo route of the time, but the anime adaptation deconstructed a lot of issues in shoujo mangas/animes and also had very interesting (though confusing lol) usages of symbolisms and foreshadowing. |

   Why don’t we become monsters and really mess up this awful world? Just destroy until there’s no more evil, no more sadness, no more anything… Wouldn’t that be great? |
Superns18 said: @Chibi-Alice I think that's unfortunately gonna be the case with anything music based, you just can't really connect without sound. Wouldn't say that the music part was the issue. It was more that the manga lacked in the feelings that the show gave me and many other viewers. |
| This is an interesting question to have. I believe if I had to judge, I would say the A Certain Scientific Accelerator anime which turned a manga spinoff that didn't have to exist into something more enjoyable to get through. |
| most, if not all KyoAni adaptions, as it turns out |
 |
| The most recent example from my experience is Kimetsu no Yaiba. I really liked how they expanded upon certain scenes such as how |

| Attack on Titan Trigun s-CRY-ed (thankfully the anime made no attempt to match the manga art style) |
| @Nefelupitou I think it's probably fair to say all of the music adaptations will be better than their source material. RMikami said: Attack on Titan Trigun s-CRY-ed (thankfully the anime made no attempt to match the manga art style) SNK is the biggest one for me. The manga is a good story, but truthfully the art isn't exactly stellar, the animation's music and fluidity just takes it to another level.

Wouldn't say that the music part was the issue. It was more that the manga lacked in the feelings that the show gave me and many other viewers. It's because of the music. Music manga are never going to be as good as their anime adaptations. It's 100 percent about the music.

The manga was like one of the best of the 90s fam, but I've never seen Yugioh subbed, so If I check that out someday my opinion may change.

Superns18 said: it was alright but there wasn't anything the novel had over what kyoani added through its music, animation, and voice acting. i felt like i was just reading the script for the movie while reading the novel. Aure0lin said: the disappearance of haruhi suzumiya i tried reading the manga adaptation and the original light novel, but both sucked in comparison to the anime do you just not like LN's or what did you not like about the LN? this was probably because the movie's 2hr40min runtime pretty much allowed for every little important detail from the book to make it to the anime, rather than the usual occurrence of an adaptation needing to conserve info to fit the limited time it has to offer. plus, the novel itself is noticeably short at 50k words |

| @Aure0lin I see, I believe the Novel was kinda like VE and Chuunibyou in that it was submitted as part of a competition with a word limit. |
|
| @Timeless- the studio did an amazing job with that tbh. Absolutely wonderful job of adapting it into a really lively project. |
